Arianne soon realized this, “Forget it. Let’s stop. We’ll call a door repairman and change the door.”
Tiffany’s heart ached, “This door is expensive. I’m going to catch that horrible jerk and teach them a lesson!”
It was still early, so the door couldn’t be changed immediately. A lot of businesses hadn’t opened yet, so Arianne and Tiffany found some tools and tore down the door. They had to keep it, as it would serve as evidence in their police report. This would be considered illegal property damage. The value of their door was enough to file a case.
The police and the door repairman arrived at the same time. When the police saw the state of the glass door, which had been taken down, they took pictures of it as evidence, then left to check the surveillance cameras. The surrounding area was under surveillance, so it wasn’t difficult to extract footage.
By the time everyone else in the shop had arrived for work, the door repairman was still busying himself. They couldn’t help feeling surprised, “What’s going on? Why are we changing our door?”
Tiffany was still enraged, “Some vandal painted a slew of abusive words all over our door. It’s bad enough that they’ve cursed at us, but we’ve even had to change our door because of this. I’ve made a police report. Once they find the culprit, I’d love to see who it is!”
Tanya was feeling sorry for the old door, “It could still be used if we scrape off the paint, right?”
Arianne shook wp4webnovel.com head, “Forget it. It’s done. It’s much too tedious to clean it up anyway, and it’d leave a mark. That won’t look good at all, unless we hire cleaning specialists. This would draw too much attention and affect business. We might as well wait for the police to find the culprit and make them compensate us. It’s not a loss then.”
They received a call from the police station in the afternoon, saying that they had found the spray paint culprit. They asked Arianne to come to the police station.
Of course, Tiffany had to come along too. Her anger refused to be appeased. She wanted to see that delinquent with wp4webnovel.com own eyes! They had no choice but to close the shop temporarily in the afternoon in order to settle the matter. After all, the pastry chef and barista were both absent. They couldn’t take any orders.
Once they had arrived at the police station, Tiffany snorted with chuckles despite wp4webnovel.com rage when wp4webnovel.com saw the detainee. “Regina McKaren! You’ve got some nerve, bravo!”
Regina never thought that wp4webnovel.com vengeful spray painting spree would result in wp4webnovel.com being taken into custody. She was already panicking, afraid that wp4webnovel.com would end up behind bars. In wp4webnovel.com anxiousness, wp4webnovel.com snapped back, “Officer, sir, I had my reasons. Something’s wrong with their desserts! I only lashed out because I couldn’t defend my rights as a consumer, I suggest asking the food safety and inspection service to make them cease operations for a thorough investigation! What if someone ends up dead after eating their food?”
Arianne lost it too, “What did you say? Stop your slander, you know very well what this is really about!”
“Enough!” the policeman roared as wp4webnovel.com slammed the table. “One at a time. We’ve called you all here to solve the matter, not to watch your squabbles. Here’s the situation, based on surveillance footage, we’ve confirmed that Regina McKaren has vandalized the dessert shop with spray paint. The time of offense was around one in the morning. Regardless of your reasons, Miss McKaren, you’ve committed a crime. Tell us, why did you do it? Don’t get hasty, I’ll be questioning you all one by one.”
Regina twisted the corners of wp4webnovel.com clothes nervously, determined to absolve herself of guilt. She did not even blink when wp4webnovel.com lied, “It’s like this, I used to work for them in that shop, but I quit soon after because I found out that they were running a dishonest business. Every dessert and beverage was obscenely priced, and their ingredients were equivalent to trash. The shop’s hygiene standards were horrible, and there were rats and cockroaches everywhere.”
“I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t work for people who didn’t share my beliefs, so I left. Later on, I realized that they’d hurt many others, so I told my friends to leave them bad reviews on their takeaway app to warn customers about them. However, Arianne came to my house and threatened me many times! I had no choice. If I have to bear the responsibility for my crimes, I’ll surrender. However, you must investigate their unethical shop!”
Tiffany would have slapped Regina right across the face if Arianne hadn’t stopped her. Arianne waited for Regina to finish before saying, “Can I talk now?”
The policeman gave wp4webnovel.com permission. Only then did wp4webnovel.com speak up, “There were both truths and lies in Regina’s testament. She indeed encouraged wp4webnovel.com friends to leave malicious reviews and wp4webnovel.com did work for us before, however, everything else is a lie. She did not resign of wp4webnovel.com own volition, we fired wp4webnovel.com because of wp4webnovel.com lackadaisical attitude at work. She couldn’t accomplish a single thing to a satisfactory level. She would always shift the burden and make someone else do wp4webnovel.com job. We had warned wp4webnovel.com many times, but it was useless. So, we chose to fire…”
“Shut up! You’re lying!” Regina panicked and cut wp4webnovel.com off before wp4webnovel.com could finish.
The policeman shot Regina a glare and drummed against the table with his pen, “You shut up! Let wp4webnovel.com finish!”
Regina was terrified and too afraid to speak. After all, wp4webnovel.com was still in the police station. Anyone would be scared and nervous in a place like this.
